Introduction of the Urban Handleset

June 2009

The Urban Stainless Steel Handleset is the ideal choice for the entrance of any modern residence. Designed to be paired with our stainless steel levers, the clean, rectangular lines provide the perfect finishing details both inside and out. In addition to complementing contemporary design, stainless steel is also highly resistant to corrosion and easy to maintain.

The Urban’s tubular deadbolt lockset provides ease of installation and affordability, while retaining a high-end look. A 5½” center to center allows the handleset to fit most standard pre-bored doors. The deadbolt lockset has a sleek, distinctive flush mount cylinder design which not only enhances the appearance, but provides excellent protection against tampering with the cylinder mechanism. The 1” deadbolt throw with saw-proof inserts and the armored strike reinforcement provide additional security.

For more than four decades, OMNIA has been a leading manufacturer of solid brass and stainless steel latchsets, mortise entry locksets, deadbolt locksets and narrow backset mortise locks in over eighty knob and lever designs. OMNIA also offers a wide range of decorative cabinet hardware, solid brass hinges and architectural hardware, available through authorized showrooms throughout North America.
